Exploratory Testing Buddy

In my opinion, this is a great little tool to help you with exploratory testing, and is a great reminder of the type of problem user-input issues you should be trying against your application.

Using Bug Magnet when doing exploratory testing should help uncover issues with your application like error handling, boundary-related errors, and security issues.

Also, if you have ever found yourself doing exploratory testing and wondering what values you should try when testing, say, a text box that should only allow integer values, Bug Magnet is helpful in that it gives you an idea of some standard problematic values to start with.

Even if your application doesn’t work in Chrome or is a thick client application, you can use this as a kind of checklist of things to try when performing your exploratory testing.
